An exciting new piece is getting packed up and shipped out—this time to a healthcare facility in New Jersey.

The project was designed for an elevator lobby in a newly constructed facility, with a goal of creating something clean-lined, contemporary, and grounded in a sense of place. The clients wanted the artwork to resonate with both staff and visitors, reflecting the familiar local topography in a calming, abstracted way.

Inspired by the Suffern Bear Mountain Trail at Harriman State Park, the final piece captures the gentle rise and fall of the region’s low mountains through interconnected geometric forms. A soft, nature-based palette of blues and greens brings a feeling of calm, while a shimmering "river" of glass—sometimes stacked in lines, sometimes circling into a waterfall—adds movement and serenity to the composition.
